Experiencing Bird Migration in the Backyard – Herb Lewis

Tennessee Valley Audubon Society is delighted to welcome Herb Lewis to speak about creating bird-friendly habitats.

Each Spring and Fall, for a two to three week period, thousands of migrating songbirds fly over the Tennessee Valley nightly on their epic journey between their nesting areas in the northern parts of North America and wintering areas in the tropics.  This presentation includes proven techniques of garden design for creating a backyard bird-friendly habitat.   Herb‘s simple ideas and principles have brought over 90 bird species to his Huntsville backyard since 2004.  Herb will share personal photos of many migrating birds attracted to his backyard wildlife habitat environment.

Herb Lewis lives in Huntsville and is a retired engineer.  A popular speaker, Herb draws from his personal hobbies, landscaping, birding and photography to inspire others with techniques for creating a bird-friendly backyard. Herb is also an honorary Master Gardener and instructor for the Master Gardener program in North Alabama. He is also an instructor for Birmingham Audubon Mountain Workshop and he helped sponsor and develop Lewis Birding Trail at Huntsville Botanical Garden.
